In trying to determine all it should contain, I thought I’d check with Writerspace members, the type of visitors I’d most like to have, to learn what lures you to visit author websites.

WHAT IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS AND OPTIONS HAVE I NOT LISTED? IN ADDITION TO WRITING A TERRIFIC BOOK, WHAT CAN AN AUTHOR DO TO GET YOUR ATTENTION, INTERACT WITH YOU AND MAKE YOU AWARE OF THEIR LATEST MATERIAL? A FREE COPY OF MY DEBUT NOVEL, MRS. GOODFELLER WILL BE RANDOMLY AWARDED TO ONE PERSON WHO LEAVES A COMMENT BELOW BEFORE THE NEXT WRITERSPACE BLOG IS POSTED.
